Top hotels in Singapore River
Furama RiverFront
My choice of hotel revolves around finding a comfortable room at a reasonable price. This hotel ticked all the boxes. Only complaint is that it is a fair 10 minute walk in humidity to the nearest MRT Station with a bus stop a little closer. Taxis are reliable and not too expensive.
